Paintbrush Birdie - Do You See Me?
Hey, straighten your tie, and look in their eyes
Now stand when you speak, formal words make you seem wise
If you don't recall, make them believe that you know it all
Look a certain way or they won't see you at all
Bright young lives, potential ahead
The tracks provide one way instead
Pre-decided roles in a play
If we're the future leaders then why don't we get a say
Though you carefully code
There's no hiding the bias in your stance
I thought we traveled this road
And yet we are back here again
But I'll keep going
And there's no dragging me down
Am I threatening your chance of success
That's why you obsess to suppress
Watch and wait as wrongs are ignored
The hero aches, the villain adored
I don't want us repeating the past
Keep this up and the peace won't last
You say you're making it fair
But you're just rating us personally
I know you don't really care
About true merit and our abilities
But I'll keep going
And there's no dragging me down
Am I threatening your chance of success
That's why you obsess to suppress
But I'll keep going
And there's no dragging me down
Am I threatening your chance of success
That's why you obsess to suppress
Expect resistance
And there's no dragging us down
We deserve every chance of success
So you shouldn't obsess to suppress
